Mickey Mantle Autographed BaseballSports memorabilia has come a long way from the standard autographed headshot. While headshots are still popular, now collectors can choose from a variety of commemorative and signed memorabilia from some of the greatest teams and athletes in history. Memorabilia revolving around a specific athlete usually includes autographed balls, jerseys and sports gear. For a collector whose passion extends to a certain team, there are team photos, championship mementos and stadium memorabilia.

For example, a collector who loves Mickey Mantle might have an autographed baseball, an autographed 1956 New York Yankees jersey and an autographed Triple Crown poster. If a collector’s passion extends to the entire Yankees organization, they may also have autographed memorabilia from other famous Yankees in history, like Babe Ruth and Yogi Berra.

Collectors of Yankee memorabilia are now seeking a commemorative keepsake of the old Yankee Stadium, like an autographed seatback from the stands, freeze-dried grass or a plaque featuring game-used dirt.
